Noob question- Which Calipers Do I Have?

[DaButt]

So, I know this is elementary Watson, but I've had my 84 Eta for a few months now, and I'm starting to do minor maintenance myself. Maintenance done so far are oil & filter twice (use the LubroMoly MoS2- love it), changed coolant, tranny, diff fluid, plugs, and new brake fluid. If I do say so myself, I think I've done a pretty decent job on all these, though minor. I gotta start somewhere...

however where i must concede is in the brake realm... they scare the shit out of me. I did replace my old fluid with the BavAuto pressure thing, but after I did all 4, realized that I'd had my E-Brake on, so I was going to have to do it again... this is where it gets bleak. (as i understand, it was ok to bleed all of them with the E-Brake on, it doesn't affect it...) so on my second round trip of bleeding, I get to the Fr L caliper, and shear the bleed screw off while tightening. I drove it around, did some pedal stomping, it's not leaking out of that screw, so that's something. But eventually, i guess i'm going to need to replace the caliper when I change the fluid again... I've heard I can try EZ Out or drilling it or something of the sort... thinking a $70 reman'd caliper is probably my best bet.

Is replacing a caliper something a Level 1 Tinkerer can do?

Also, how do I know whether I have ATE or Girling calipers? Does it say on the caliper? If so, where?

Sorry for the rant, just trying to ensure contextual information is present.

yes it says way brand they are on the caliper, take a look. The girlings have it cast into them, so do the ATE calipers. Try an ez out kit on the bleeder first though. YOU can do it.
